The social window humankind has to prevent dangerous climate change is described and one possible strategy to relieve the collective-risk dilemma in high-risk situations is to convince people that failure to invest enough is very likely to cause grave financial loss to the individual.
Temporal variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation at 26.5 degrees N.
- S. Cunningham, T. Kanzow, H. Bryden
- Environmental ScienceScience
- 2007
Continuous measurements of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation are combined using the purposefully designed transatlantic Rapid Climate Change array of moored instruments with time series of Gulf Stream transport and surface-layer Ekman transport to quantify its intra-annual variability.
